I do not condone giving anything to that traitor Loghain. I'm disappointed in you guys.

Green ooze - Morrigan, it seems like something she could craft a poison with The buckle - Alistair, of course The broken hilt - Loghain, he would appreciate it the most I think I'm just imagining these guys scowling at each other, angry the others also got a gift This makes sense to me. I agree with Gervaise that giving sten a broken sword would not be good lore wise.

You guys are welcome to change your votes from one hero to another if someone's logic convinces you, but you'd need to state your correction, otherwise, I'll be keeping your vote on what you've originally mentioned.

I was of the impression, we should give those things to the characters we would like to give them? If I want to give that swordhilt to Sten, because I like that character more than Loghain, Oghren or Ali, then that should be ok. I only made the Asala comment as a joke and didn't want a discussion about it , I know of the importance of Asala and that it has to be whole. I just don't feel like giving that hilt to any of the other warriors. Maybe Sten fancies nice sword hilts - or he need a new one for the sword, he has now until we find Asala for him - take a pick. BTW: I would have given it to Wynne, if the mood had stroke me. I do play the games the same way. I never give Oghren any of his alcoholic gifts, because I don't like him, but I don't want him drop dead on the battlefield either.

I'm wondering whether in addition to voting patterns we should watch for anyone encouraging bad gift choices. Would the evils encourage us to make the hero characters mad?

It seems majority have settled in their gift choices.
The hero with the most votes will receive the gift.
I'll give the voting about 4 more hours, and then I'll announce the winners reactions.

There is currently a tie between Loghain and Sten - 4 votes each to receive the broken hilt. If anyone wishes to alter their vote or cast a decisive one, I will be leaving the voting open for 3 more hours. After that I will flip a coin.

I was of the impression, we should give those things to the characters we would like to give them? I could be totally wrong here, Fylimar, but I thought giving something could have either a positive or negative effect. I seem to recall the feast day prank gifts in game worked like that (not that I ever paid for that DLC) so giving Zevran a chastity belt was not appreciated. resulting in a loss of approval. So I thought if I give something to Sten that he would disapprove of then his negative rating might go up. Perhaps Adonniel could clarify the rules on this because I am still unsure and if gifts can only have a positive impact, then I might well change my vote.

if gifts can only have a positive impact, then I might well change my vote. The gifts will definitely have both positive and negative impact. Just like in the game, one character will like the gift and the other will react negatively to the same gift. All gifts will be liked by someone and disliked by someone else. No prank -50 gifts for just one person. <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.960000000000036px; height: 2.8599999999999994px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_53087328" scrolling="no" width="23.960000000000036" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.96px; height: 2.86px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1138px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_53090365" scrolling="no" width="23.960000000000036" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.96px; height: 2.86px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 84px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_87617031" scrolling="no" width="23.960000000000036" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.96px; height: 2.86px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1138px; top: 84px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_46600377" scrolling="no" width="23.960000000000036" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.62000000000012px; height: 2.8599999999999994px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_74068577" scrolling="no" width="23.62000000000012" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.62px; height: 2.86px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1121px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_46349283" scrolling="no" width="23.62000000000012" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.62px; height: 2.86px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 85px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_9036529" scrolling="no" width="23.62000000000012" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> <iframe style="position: absolute; width: 23.62px; height: 2.86px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1121px; top: 85px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_33551360" scrolling="no" width="23.62000000000012" height="2.8599999999999994"></iframe> I would recommend taking the risk in assigning the gifts because depending on approval character eliminations will have varying consequences. At zero it will not be grand, obviously not disastrous since it's a neutral stance, but nothing good either.

Yeah, I would try to give each item to the companion who would appreciate it the most to avoid possible disapproval, even if we're possibly giving it to a companion that's not the most popular. Which is why I decided to give the hilt to Loghain over any other warrior. As for the green ooze, I still can't figure out who would like this sort of item. Leliana and Zevran could possibly make good use of it if it's poisonous, but would they like it? Same goes for Morrigan and Wynne. ETA: Also, I definitely get what you guys are coming from when it comes to Loghain, especially during the quest before the Landsmeet where you have to visit the Alienage.

Well, I refuse to give a gift to Loghain on principal so Sten can have it.
Edit: Ok, maybe taking a step back and breathing deeply maybe I'll remember that this is a different game and I shouldn't let emotions rule. This is a game of logic. And logic says Loghain would probably appreciate it more. So I'll grudgingly go with Loghain instead.

Ok, I understand now. It might be game essential to give a certain gift to a certain character. In this case, I might change my vote to Buckle:Ali Ooze: still Zevran, because of the forementioned reasons Hilt: Loghain, because he seems to like things from old wars

It was too much to expect the heartless witch of the bogs would understand that someone might feel sad because everyone they considered family died in one stroke. Moodily, Alistair walked past a weeping elven family by the roadside as Elissa stopped to exchange a few words with them. He needed to be several steps ahead of the party to work past his anger and hurt. Up ahead a priestess was arguing with a merchant. Their words were lashing out against him in fury like the rest of the world.
"Alistair?"
Elissa stepped beside him once she soothed the family that was now walking away bearing some hope. She didn't deserve him to lash out like that.
"I... shouldn't have fallen apart like that. I just wish I had something to remember them by."
She picked up his hand. The fist he held tight unclenched the same way his heart unclenched a small margin as she dropped a Griffon buckle into his palm.
"You do," she said gently.
Her hand remained in his a bit longer than necessary before she slipped it away. It was a hand of another Grey Warden, far more to hold on to.
Alistair approves +10
________________________
As much as his presence was required in Denerim, Loghain had to leave his daughter to oversee the city. The nobility was being obstinate and his presence was required elsewhere to consolidate her power. Walking into his command tent, he saw a parcel slipped inside while the guards swore on Andraste that nobody went in.
There were no markings on it to trace the sender, but he knew who was the messenger. The package contained a broken hilt from the field of Ostagar. A reminder of the broken trust.
Loghain disapproves -10
_____________
He was watching them and the party was watching him in return. A fair enough trade since he had attempted to assassinate them all on the road. The young Warden, however, did not seem content to keep the group broken apart. His posture shifted every so slightly as she approached holding a cracked vial.
"What might such a finesse, deadly substance be doing in the delicate hands like these? The contrast in quite exhilarating," he offered in greeting and was met by a faint smile.
"I thought a master might appreciate its benefits."
"The benefits of an instantly killing poison," a chuckle betrayed his amusement.
"Perhaps I fancy you a merciful person."
"That's quite unexpected," he uttered accepting the gift.
Zevran approves +10

Honestly, I prefer to get disapproval from Loghain over Sten so I'm not too broken up over this result. Also, good job on the players who voted for Zevran. I personally had no clue on what to do with that item, so good call.
